Sustainable Energy Study Tours in Denmark, Northern Germany, and Central Eastern Europe

Tours are organised for interested groups. Experienced INFORSE-Europe representatives are available to accompany tour groups and provide technical translation. High quality study tours can be customized to meet the needs of clients from the public, business and NGO sectors including transport hire and accommodation requirements from comfortable hotels to youth hostels or camping.

Many of the sites available to visit have been operating for a number of years, often for more than 10 years. Others are brand new. The older installations have been continually improved as lessons have been learned. Substantial experience has been gathered during long term operation. INFORSE-Europe study tours present a unique opportunity to learn first hand from this accumulated experience.

Note: The examples below are from the period 2001-2010. We did organise tours in 2010-16 also.
Some of these tourse were part of a cooperation projects.
These include:
- Study Tour and sustainable energy in buildings in Denmark for a Latvian-Russian-Belarus NGO group, 2016
- Study Tours on Democracy in Danish Sustainable Energy Planning for Polish municipalities, 2014.
